Amtrak now offers accommodations for cyclists with their new carry-on service on the Amfleet cars which allows Trail users to do the full 52 miles and not worry about the return trip!

Bikes can now be loaded and offloaded by customers at any station in VA that is served by these trains. As always, long-distance services (Silver Star/Meteor, Palmetto, Crescent, Cardinal) that use baggage cars will continue to accept bikes at staffed stations only.

For more information, including fares and loading/unloading guidelines, and itineraries please visit the Amtrack website:
